<p>A late, but timely prescription. There seems to be a case of DOCTORS IN HELL going around. You can prepare for the upcoming epidemic: now through both<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Hell-Heroes-Book-18-ebook/dp/B00Z753EX8/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sr=&amp;qid=" target="_blank"> Kindle</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Doctors-Hell-Heroes-18/dp/0986414093/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&amp;sr=&amp;qid=" target="_blank">Book</a>. If you would like to warn people of what is to come, I hope that you will consider sharing this prescription and perhaps even investing into some reviews of your own.</p>
<p>And here is another infernal prescription for you: namely<a href="https://jenniferloiske.wordpress.com/2015/06/28/oh-oh-doctors-in-hell-are-taking-over-my-blog-for-the-next-couple-of-weeks/" target="_blank"> an interview of mine with Jennifer Loiske</a> regarding my own strain of story in <em>Doctors</em>. Apparently in this case, I am the first of the fallen: namely the first Hellion to be featured on her site about our book. <a href="https://jenniferloiske.wordpress.com/2015/06/29/meet-bill-zombiezak-snider-one-of-the-doctors-in-hell/" target="_blank">Bill Snider (ZombieZak) is right after me</a> and while we are the first, we will definitely not be the last. Seriously, I hope &#8212; somehow, as I should have left that outside the gates by virtue and vice of what I have done &#8212; that you will check out the works of myself and my fellow Hellions.</p>
<p>My pandering to my readership aside, I think this is going to be a very short post. I&#8217;ve vastly overestimated my energies. The first week of my LDEEP program was a major adjustment, but even through the exhaustion at home I would still be able to write and engage more online. But now after the third week of the program, I find I&#8217;m more tired than before and it takes actual energy to write anything &#8212; or indeed do anything &#8212; after an early day and night. I&#8217;m honestly just hoping I won&#8217;t pass out at my computer again like I&#8217;ve, admittedly, been doing from time to time.</p>
<p>I am finding that I really need to pace myself. If I have time to myself for a bit in the morning and I can leave at my own speed, I am generally fine. It&#8217;s not an exact science and sometimes I feel like I have traded issues with my headaches for my stomach: though the stress management is universal. Deep breathing really helps: along with, again, having my own space. But either way, it is an ongoing experiment.</p>
<p>I do know, however, what I want. I want to do what I am doing now. I want to write the way I do, and get paid for it. That&#8217;s it. That should be one of my focuses. For now, though, I&#8217;m going to take a step back and enjoy what I&#8217;ve actually achieved so far, and see where I go from here.</p>
